Apologies if you've seen this before (and for the massacre of the English language), it made me laugh

A lady from Oklahoma with a slight southern accent, she has cats and when she lived in the south she would take them to the groomers and have what is called a Line Cut. To her a line cut is when all of the fur hanging down below the cat's tummy is taken off (because it gets matted or snarled).

When she moved to Chicago, one of the cats fur got all tangled up during the move so she took it in for a line cut. She was quite surprised when she heard the price as it was twice as much as it was down south. She confirmed with the groomer that he understood what a line cut was and he said "yes, I know what a LION cut is."

It seems her accent came out sounding like LION not LINE and this is how her cat was returned to her.







(See PHOTOS below)

























She cried for a week...but not as much as the cat. It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had.

Gas in car to go to groomers = $4.50
Cat car carrier = $32.99
Grooming fee = $80.00
Getting the look from one seriously pissed off cat = Priceless!

Cheers,
Nick.

Nah, thats funny, cats get it their own way most of the time, get to lay about whilst we work, get fussed, 2 meals a day plus all the wildlife they can eat, sleep on your bed etc

That isnt cruel, it will grow back and the cat will not suffer (apart from being a bit chilly) plus it gets to be a mega star on the net !

I am seriousley considering getting both mine done in summer... just need to convince "her indoors"

The world's most p*ssed off cat. I love cats myself, but I wouldn't want to be messing with that one, if looks could kill we'd already all be dead...........

My sides were hurting once I had finished laughing.

Absolutely PMSWL

ROTFLMFAO at that cat.

Poor ******, how long do you think the camera stayed in the owners hand. Bet it was evil for a while.

Howling

Off to show everyone in the office

Scot123

That looks quite cool...

I'm off to get my beard trimmer and catch one of my persians.....

astraboy

Hilarious. People in the office agree too.

astraboy.

It still makes me chuckle every time I look at that cat

Given that one of its kind has started using a patch of our garden as it's "dumping ground", I feel little generosity to cats

Makalu

Doesnt look too happy does it?.....
